Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has one MAIN mission this week in New York City and Washington D. C…..
Keep the Money, Aid and Weapon supplies COMING…..
It IS getting Harder EVERYDAY….
Zelensky knows he’s running out of time….
The Ukraine coming out of conflict WILL BE a HEAVILY ARMED diffenrt place then. it was before this started…
THAT WILL BE a plus for the West and former Soviet countries looking over their shoulders at Putin….
But NOW….
Western countries ARE getting antsy….
(The Ukraine President ranted against the structure of the UN that allows Russia to veto the organisations’ effort to criticise Russian territory grab)
They do NOT want the Ukraine War/Conflict running for years….
They have their own problems….
As Zelensky roams the halls of the American Capital?
Reality HAS to be sinking in….
A group of GOP lawmakers renewed their opposition to Washington’s continued support for the embattled country in a letter to the White House ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s expected visit to the Capitol Thursday morning.
Twenty-three representatives and six senators, led by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), signed a letter outlining their opposition to the Biden administration’s latest aid request, citing worries of an “open-ended commitment” to Ukraine, more than $100 billion in aid already approved and what they called an unclear strategy for helping the war-torn country.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the letter, which was addressed to Shalanda Young, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
“What is our strategy, and what is the president’s exit plan? What does the administration define as victory in Ukraine?” are among the questions the lawmakers listed in their letter, which continues, “It would be an absurd abdication of congressional responsibility to grant this request without knowing the answers to these questions.”
The White House’s latest request calls for another $24 billion in security, economic and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.
In Washington on Thursday, Zelenskyy will meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as senators and top military officials, to make the case for continuing support for his country.
But the pushback — as well as the looming threat of a U.S. government shutdown — is an ominous sign for Kyiv, which has heavily relied on Washington’s deep pockets to send more than $100 billion in aid to the nation since Russia’s invasion in February 2022…..

McCarthy WILL meet with Zelensky after all…..
Manu Raju@mkraju
Zelensky is on Hill and meeting with full Senate but not the House after McCarthy opts not have Ukranian leader meet with the full body. The speaker instead will meet with Zelensky in a smaller group this morning.
